Hello, I have tried to translate the article from Gujarati to English. Hope it helps.
“He is [a] genius but he is so simple. While working in the studio, no one would want to disturb him. After the work is done, he relaxes. He takes good care of all of his crew irrespective of the type of work they do. Rahman is, after all, Rahman, yaar!” This story is about a young man from Rajkot who worked very closely with A R Rahman for four years. He says that he is happy that Rahman won the Golden Globe but it does not come as a surprise to him. Instead, he believes that this award comes pretty late. He says that Rahman deserved such recognition a lot earlier. “I have seen him work. He works mostly at night. No one would even realize when he has finished composing the song. He would record it and then would come to the studio and explain [to the team] what their tasks are. He is very clear about it. Whatever he wants [he gets]. Rahman is one musician who gets the original sound of any instrument he wants.” “He brings in artists even for a piece that’s barely half a minute long. I’ve seen him conduct 100 instruments at the same time. If he is in the mood for it, he would even order paan that’s filled with gulkand. In 2001, Rahman bought a system called Euphonix Console. We were all there when it was delivered.” “He beckoned me, put his hand on my shoulder and handed me a 500 rupees. Whenever he is happy, he does this.” A R Rahman has thousands of fans who email him, write letters. But Rajkot’s Gaurav Bhupendra Vasavda worked with Rahman in his studio. He has designed rhythms and its loops. Gaurav is one of the few Gujaratis who have seen both the professional and personal aspects of Rahman’s life. Gaurav was with Rahman during the compositions of Lagaan, Zubeidaa, Legend of Bhagat Singh and so on. He has also received credit for the same. Whilst working on the music of Nayak, many artists from Rajasthan had come to the studio. Gaurav also acted an interpreter between Rahman and the Rajasthani artists.
